The Centre of Informatics of the Federal University of Pernambuco (CIn-UFPE) and the University of York are organizing the second Pernambuco School on Software Engineering (PSSE 2007) . It will be held in Recife, Brazil, during the week of the 3rd to the 7th of December, 2007. It is aimed at students, researchers, and professionals interested in Testing, and is a perfect opportunity for quickly acquiring background and state-of-the-art knowledge on both the theory and the practice of testing.

    The event will gather internationally leading academics and industrialists, who will present five-hour courses and provide extensive tutorials. Postproceedings of the first Pernambuco School on Software Engineering were published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series; the theme was refinement (PSSE 2004). A similar volume was produced for this edition of the event and published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, volume 6153.

    PSSE 2007 is sponsored by Formal Methods Europe, the International Institute for Software Technology of the United Nations University (UNU/IIST), Microsoft Research, Motorola and Porto Digital. It is also an associated event of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC).
